I make a lot of ice chest radios. I have tried almost every marine speaker out there. These by far have the most bass and sound the best. I have to add extra latches to the lids to keep them from rattling.

The Polks are well balanced with good bass, great mids, and almost to much treble. The sound clarity sometimes makes me jump because the music sounds so real... I think what's that outside and it's actually the speaker producing quality sound. Speaker does need an amp if bass and VoLuMe is desired, otherwise these things almost sound like subs with superb SQ. Still the treble is a little to much when turned up, but can be tuned down. I strongly suggest this speaker to anyone looking for an awesome full range speaker. The only 6x9s that are better are competition series which cost much more. Excellent value!!

I thought these where very nice speakers for the price. Play very loud, loud enough were the tweeters start to hurt your ears. Occasionally they can make a little noticeable mirror shake and its only off of head unit power. Even while pounding on them hard haven't heard much bottoming out. Solid design, easy hook up and look pretty cool to.
